Not loaded. e .gig le is not loaded. You need to click the Download
button to load it to the selected MIDI channel.
Loaded. e .gig le is loaded. e instrument you hear matches the
settings you have made in the Editor.
Save and reload requ ired. e .gig le is loaded, but you have made edits
that require the le be saved to disk and reloaded before they can be heard.
e instrument you hear m ay no longer match the settings y ou have made in
the Editor. e yellow RELOAD indicator means that the le can be saved
quickly.
Full save and reloa d required. e red RELOAD indicator means that the
instrument has changed so extensively th at the le must be c ompletely
rewritten, potential ly a more time consuming o peration.
When the RELOAD indicator is lit, you can continue to edit the instrument, but you will not hear all of
your edits until you have done a save/reload cycle:
Click on the Download button.
You can save the le to its origina l location (Save)
or to a new location (Save As).
Note that if you choose Save As, the Editor will
always perform a full save.
If a full save is requi red anyway, the Sa ve As option
may be faster, because it avoids the necessity of
writing an intermediat e le in the tem p directory.
ese are major chan ges that alter the structur e of the .GIG le and require a full save:
• Adding, deleting, or replacing i nstruments, regions, or sam ples.
• Adding, deleting, re ordering or chan ging dimensions and splits.
Doing a complete full save can be time consuming if you ar e dealing with large .gig les. is problem has
been solved with the ability to separate the instrument parameters from the samples.
1. Go to the File menu and choose Save As…
